VICTORIAN
I used TinEye on this and strangely came up with these.

STEAMPUNK/VICTORIAN
“It’s not easy looking modern and current while wearing anything that is Victorian-inspired without looking like you just came out of a Charles Dickens novel (or attending a steampunk-themed party). That may be a good thing for Halloween, but if you’re going for fashion instead of costume then this editorial from Vogue Netherlands may be the answer to your prayers. The editorial is titled “Neo-Victorian” and true to its name it features this season’s looks that look back to the nineteenth century while staying in 2012. It also features Dutch model Anna de Rijk looking flawless in dramatic pieces from Valentino, Jean Paul Gaultier, Carolina Herrera and many others styled by Marije Goekoop. The stunning images were lensed by Marc de Groot for Vogue Netherlands’ November 2012 issue.”

I’m very fond of late Victorian warships but my favourites are Torpedo Boats and Torpedo Boat Destroyers especially with a turtle deck forrard, like this one. Until I saw this illustration i hadn’t realised they actually ventured forth upon them, though it is well equiped with handrails. This will be a Torpedo Boat, note the ends of the torpedo tubes below the officers feet. Love those side by side funnels.

VICTORIANA
“Send a Gunboat” and this is the sort of Gunboat they would send.This is HMS FIREFLY, river gunboat, Fly-class, 98t, built by Yarrow in sections, re-erected at Abadan in1925.
The Tigris-Euphrates was in Mesopotamia in those days. Lovely name, rolls off the tongue. Where did the name Iraq come from??. I suppose it was the start of this ridiculous modern fad for starting everything with i——i pod, i phone, i player. They even renamed Persia into Iran. Incidentally what the Yanks call a Dear John letter was known as a Mespot in the RAF. A pre war posting to Mesopotamia was 5 years with no leave. Not many relationships would stand that. I got two, from the same girl.(I managed a bit of leave between them)
